Nate Bargatze is from Nashville, Tenn., but he’s finding a home-away-from-home here in Fargo. When the comedian plays the Fargodome Thursday night, it will be the third time in less than four years he’s performed in town.

A big part of his stand-up appeal is being relatable. It isn’t just a willingness to laugh at himself, but rather to make all of the jokes at his own expense. Just look at the name of his current tour — Big Dumb Eyes — and look at his picture next to it. On stage he plays the role of a dim-witted dad whose main vice is a hankering for secret, late-night Door Dash deliveries.

Tickets range from $42.75 to $228.
